During Lent the Knights of Columbus are conducting a fund drive in support of the Well of Mercy, a charitable organization that provides transitional housing, spiritual nourishment, and other support services to women with unplanned pregnancies who chosse to carry their baby to term. Empty baby bottles are in the back of church. Bring them back full of cash and change by April 6.

We invite you to participate in a weekly guided study and discussion of the Scriptures assigned for the Sundays of Lent, using materials provided by Renew International.

There will be two separate groups this Lent. A daytime group will meet at the Rectory on Fridays from 10:00 to 11:15am, beginning March 7. The evening group will meet on Mondays from 6:00 to 7:15pm, beginning March 3. For more information or to sign up email bible@assumption-chgo.org

Assumption Young Adults will gather following the 5:00pm Mass on Saturday, March 8 for a Pre-St. Patrick's Day outing. For more details and for future updates, join the AYA GroupMe. Email them at assumptionaya@gmail.com.  AYA is for anyone in their twenties or thirties, single, coupled, or married.

Our next preparation session for parents (and, if possible, godparents) of infants to be baptized is Monday, March 10, at the Rectory. Sessions are from 7:00 to 8:15pm.  These sessions are for first time parents and for parents who have never before attended a preparation session. Call the Parish Office to register. It is not necessary to wait for the baby to be born to attend a preparation session. Baptisms normally take place on the second and fourth Sundays of the month at 1:15pm and on the first weekend of the month during Mass. More here

If we have 300 people willing to make a sustaining donation of $10 a month, then we will be able to adequately fund not only Assumption Shares, but also the Saturday sandwiches we make for Chicago Help Initiative and the monthly grocery bill for the migrant family of eight that Assumption helps support. $10 a month is a very small amount that will go a long way if we have the participation we need. And your monthly gift is easy to set up electronically. Just click HERE. The first option in the dropdown menu will be Assumption Shares.

There will be exposition of the Blessed Sacrament with Benediction on the third Monday of the Month from 5:00 to 7:00pm. Our next period of adoration is Monday March 17. There is free validated parking at MartPark, Orleans and Hubbard.
